Jackson will win 1 before he retires i think. Id give you -70 incog point odds on that 

Jackson is 27 this season, and his running/scrambling is what makes him special.  That part of his game is likely to crater sooner rather than later.  Take away the high level running, and where does Jackson rank among starting QB's?  Bottom third?  I think these next two years are the end of his SB window.

That is a fair point, but for the next two years, he's top 10 for sure.

Even if he keeps getting banged up? As far as health goes, last season could easily be the exception. He was hurt down the stretch and that basically tanked their chances in 2021 and 2022. His style of play makes that way more likely than a more pure passer.

If BAL can keep their defense playing at a high level, Jackson will have a legit shot at getting a SB.  I can agree that he's at a higher risk for injury, but assuming he'll be injured for the playoffs is no more valid than assuming he'll be healthy.

People are very quick to make these statements about athletes. 

I've been reading about LeBron James turning into a role player soon since 2011.

sounds like 2013/2017 aaron rodgers.  Always banged up.

Jackson is a good passer.  He would be a good qb without or with diminished legs.  Y/A well over 7 for his career, prime peyton manning numbers.  He makes consistently good plays from the pocket, and if you can't see that you just aren't watching.

 

Jackson is limited by his supporting cast, specifically his wideouts.  This year I expect another MVP level campaign

He was a zay flowers fumble away from being in this year. 2 years window seems fair to me. his passing will continue to improve though, he may well play to mid 30s. That ravens org is very well run, they could create more chances for the ball to bounce their way

Bad news for anyone hoping exclusive streaming of NFL games was going away

Quote

Netflix is currently in negotiations to exclusively stream the NFL's two Christmas games this year. Although the holiday falls on a Wednesday in 2024 -- a day of the week when the NFL almost never schedules a game -- the league has already announced that it will be holding two games on Dec. 25 this year. 

Netflix is currently the front-runner to land those games, although nothing has been signed yet. According to the report, "the two sides still have to clear some hurdles before any deal is announced."

One wonders if the NFL is flirting with the limits of what fandom will tolerate.

I don’t mind some steady and predictable hosing. Most of us would shell out $ every week to watch games. But don’t make me play Whack a Mole trying to figure out where the games are being broadcast

Major media deserves to be pirated. 

I stay peg leg Pete in regards to the NFL.

Illegal streams arw home to every single nfl game. One stop shop to ripping off the greedy corporate fat cats.

Plus some sites have hardly any porn ads so it's nearly family friendly.

Netflix gets $8.50 a month from me since I think their service is actually worth paying for.  Spectrum gets my monthly payment for providing a fast and (usually) reliable internet connection.  The rest I can take care of myself, for a fraction of what the cable/streaming companies want to charge.

The threat of his legs opens up some of those passing opportunities. As his scrambling ability diminishes, the passing windows will get tighter. He’s a good passer good enough to be a starting NFL Qb but not a top 10 arm and a strong argument can be made that a lot of arm talent joined the league this season.

He’s still on a short list of Super Bowl contenders but there’s a lot of teams nipping at their heels.
